Change Blindness; you cannot be aware of everything.BackChange Blindness; you cannot be aware of everything. Your brain fails to focus on details all the time. Change blindness allows the brain to focus on one precise thing and that's very useful and a great survival mechanism. But since most of the time we're not aware of what the brain focuses on, we cannot have a full picture of our daily lives; it distorts our perception constantly. This concept explained and much more in the documentary series "Brain Story" (2000) by the extraordinary British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). http://www.bbc.co.uk Full description of the original documentary series: - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/837632.stm Official "brain story" book, companion to the series: - http://www.amazon.com/BBC-Brain-Story-Unlocking-Emotions/dp/0789478390/ref=sr_1_1/103-5064472-5130250?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1189084936&sr=1-1 About the author, Susan Greenfield: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Greenfield or - http://www.sirc.org/about/susan_greenfield.html the "whole brain atlas" online: - http://www.med.harvard.edu/AANLIB/home.html Category: Tech Uploaded: August 23rd, 2007 @ 12:50 am Author: QuarksAreStrange Length: 05:56 Rating: Views: Tags: quarksarestrange brain change blindness concentration focus unconscious reality perception neurology bbc Related Video Links:» View Video Comments For Change Blindness; you cannot be aware of everything. » View QuarksAreStrange's Other Uploaded Videos Video Thumbnails:Video Embedding Code:* Embed this video on your website, social bookmark, myspace, or blog. |
